Ingredients

8 medium squid
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 x salt and black pepper
7 ounces flour, all-purpose
1 large egg yolks
1/2 pt water
1 pinch salt
1 large egg whites
1 x vegetable oil
1 each lemon cut into wedges
1 bunch parsley leaves

Directions

1

Clean the squids inside and out, discarding the 'bone' and keeping only the bag-like bodies.
2

Pat dry and cut in rings of about 1/2 inch.
3

Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
4

Make a batter with the water, flour, the yolk and the salt.
5

Set aside for 30 minutes.
6

Beat the egg white until firm and fold into the batter.
7

Sprinkle the squid rings with plain flour, and dip in the batter so as to cover them completely.
8

Deep-fry in very hot oil (max.3 minutes, unless you happen to enjoy rubber bands).
9

Serve with the lemon edges and parsley twigs.
10

As you see there is no mention of cheese, romano or otherwise, but I can vouch that the resulting rings are quite crispy, dry and oil-free, provided that the oil is .very.
11

hot (fry only a few rings at a time).

I guess you can always add the cheese...
